Default Trustworthy HANners. I can help you with upcoming purchases

I know this sounds really ghetto, but I'm sure a few people on the board can vouch for me (Ali, Lawrence, for starters).

The story: My dad is going on vacation this summer to da beach in Delaware, and he's invited my brother and I to come along. I am about 1500-2000 miles short of being able to cash in my frequent flier miles and get tickets. If I can't use my miles, the ticket will be about $350, which will be a stretch for me since I'm already going to Chicago in a couple weeks and cash is kinda tight at the moment. So......

Anybody have any upcoming purchases I could put on my CC, and you can paypal me the cost? I know it sounds bad, but I'm desperate for these miles. I haven't seen my Dad since last fall and that was just a day... haven't spent any real time with him in more than a year. :hs:

Whats the cash to miles ratio....how many miles do you get for $1

It already sounds cheaper to buy a ticket for $350

1 mile = $1. You would still be paying for your purchase, just routing the money through me so I can get the miles h: I could make a modest contribution to your purchase just for letting me do it.

It doesn't have to be paypal, i just figured that would be most convenient since we live in different locations. If you want to wait for a check to go through, personal check or anything else you can think of would be fine. :hs:

I might be making a purchase for about $150 or more. Will let you know.

Edit: Dave's a good guy. I actually gave him more for a part, just because he was giving me such a stellar deal. :hsughr:
